Annual planning made easy

An annual schedule outlining your fundraising plans for
the year can really help get everyone focused. We've made it even
easier for you by sharing a template.

This template is based on a real working document and is
designed to provide an overview of all your organisation's
activities, across the whole year. It's broken down into
different sections:

ongoing fundraising (i.e. recycling schemes, 100 clubs)

pure fundraising (i.e. bake sales)

events for families (i.e. sponsored walk)

adult social events (i.e. quiz night)

Columns allow you to note the date, the volunteer responsible
for each activity and a loose outline of when action needs to be
taken.

Sit down with your fundraising colleagues to agree dates for the
activities you'd like to run. This makes it easier to spot whether
your event will clash with others in the local area, or if you just
have too much going on! Once all your activities and dates are
agreed, you can get on with the business of rallying
volunteers.

The template is a simple Word document, so you can edit it as
required. We have filled in a few of the columns to give you an
idea of the sort of information you may find useful. Download the
